What is gyoza?
Gyoza – are thin dough dumplings filled with meat or seafood, then cooked in a special way: first fried until crispy, and then steamed - under a lid with a small amount of water. This technique provides both contrasting texture and juiciness - exactly what guests appreciate in the dish.
In Japan, gyoza is served as a hot appetizer, as part of a bento lunch, or as an addition to soups, bowls, and salads. The shrimp version is especially popular - a delicate, light, but rich filling that goes well with the classic soy-vinegar sauce and does not require a complex accompaniment.
